إنجيل القدّيس متّى 45-43:12
قالَ الربُّ يَسوع: إِنَّ الرُّوحَ النَّجِس، إِذَا خَرَجَ مِنَ الإِنْسَان، يَطُوفُ في أَمَاكِنَ لا مَاءَ فيهَا، يَطْلُبُ الرَّاحَةَ فلا يَجِدُهَا
حينَئِذٍ يَقُول: سَأَعُودُ إِلى بَيْتِي الَّذي خَرَجْتُ مِنْهُ. ويَعُودُ فَيَجِدُهُ خَالِيًا، مَكْنُوسًا، مُزَيَّنًا
حينَئِذٍ يَذْهَبُ ويَجْلُبُ مَعَهُ سَبْعَةَ أَرْوَاحٍ آخَرِينَ أَكْثَرَ مِنْهُ شَرًّا، ويَدْخُلُونَ ويَسْكُنُونَ في ذلِكَ الإِنْسَان، فَتَكُونُ حَالَتُهُ الأَخِيْرَةُ أَسْوَأَ مِنْ حَالَتِهِ الأُولى. هكَذَا سَيَكُونُ أَيْضًا لِهذَا الجِيلِ الشِّرِّير
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke 9:43-45.
While they were all amazed at his every deed, Jesus said to his disciples,
“Pay attention to what I am telling you. The Son of Man is to be handed over to men.”
But they did not understand this saying; its meaning was hidden from them so that they should not understand it, and they were afraid to ask him about this saying.
